PERFORMANCE STATEMENT
Performance Work Statement (PWS) Safe for Display Aircraft (SDA) Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC)
1.0 Introduction
This Performance Work Statement (PWS) sets forth the essential requirements to thoroughly inspect and assess the material condition of static display aircraft on loan from the U.S. Navy. The objective is to render them safe for public display by military, government, and civilian borrowers while maintaining the historical significance and heritage they embody. To preserve these invaluable artifacts, the requirements of this PWS shall be met with the utmost precision and accuracy.
1.1 Background
The Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) oversees around 1,200 aircraft, of which 949 are currently on loan throughout the United States. In partnership with the National Naval Aviation Museum (NNAM), NHHC ensures that all loaned aircraft are safely displayed. The aircraft are divided into six standardized regions within the country: Navy Region Southeast, Navy Region Southwest, Navy Region Northwest, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic, Naval District Washington, and Navy Region Hawaii. NNAM maintains the current inventory of aircraft on display. Work on any overseas aircraft will be subject to a special Task Order.
During inspections of approximately 15% of the static display aircraft in the Navy Region Southeast, over 55% contained unremediated hazardous materials (HAZMAT) and hazardous waste (HAZWASTE). Unfortunately, NHHC does not possess adequate skilled personnel or equipment, such as flatbed trucks, to carry out the tasks needed across multiple geographical regions. Aircraft maintenance depots are not adequately equipped to handle this work. As a result, the Contractor will be solely responsible for all tools, support equipment, labor, and materials necessary to inspect, assess, and make the aircraft safe for display. The Contractor will be responsible for transporting and disposing of or recycling any HAZMAT or HAZWASTE discovered during inspections and assessments.
1.2 Objective
a. Static display inspections have three primary functions:
1. To certify the safety of aircraft for public visitation and viewing at aircraft display locations,
2. To confirm that all aircraft displays are structurally sound, satisfactorily maintained, and pose no adverse environmental threats, and
3. To guarantee that all aircraft displays present a positive image of the United States Navy to the public,
2.0 Standards
Any reconditioning, repairing, or refinishing performed on the static display aircraft shall comply with the current NHHC directives and instructions. The work shall be done without altering the aircraft's original form, design, or historical significance. Any repairs or refinishes shall be conducted in consultation with the NNAM. If there are any deviations from published standards, a written request shall be submitted and approved by NNAM. Except for minor repairs, all other repairs require authorization from NHHC Historic Ship and Aircraft Maintenance (HSAM) Program Director and the Director of NNAM. Funding for any reconditioning, major repairs, or refinishing shall be allocated from external or internal sources, but only if necessary. Any reconditioning, repairing, or refinishing will require a separate scope of work.be accomplished per current OPNAV directives and instructions in a manner that does not alter the static display aircraft's original form, design, or historical significance. Deviations from published standards shall be requested in writing and approved by NNAM. All repairs (except minor repairs detailed further in this document) require authorization by NHHC Historic Ship and Aircraft Maintenance (HSAM) Program Director and the Director, NNAM. Funding for any reconditioning, major repairing, or refinishing shall be allocated from external or internal sources and only if required. Any reconditioning, repairing, and refinishing requires a separate scope of work.
To ensure public and environmental safety, the work requirements in this PWS shall be accomplished while following all applicable references and regulations (see listing at TAB A). The Contractor shall comply with all applicable Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), instructions, and regulations.
If inspections require specific programs and processes, a process will be created and documented promptly in accordance with all Navy, DOD, Federal, State, and Local instructions, permits, rules, regulations, and laws. Once created, the process shall be submitted to the COR and NNAM rep for acceptance. If certain programs and processes are required to conduct inspections, a process shall be created and documented as soon as possible and per all Navy, DOD, Federal, State, and Local instructions, permits, rules, regulations, and laws. The process shall be submitted to the COR for acceptance.
NOTE #A1: Disposal and treatment actions as defined in 40 CFR 260.10 are prohibited unless the site where an aircraft is located is also a permitted Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility (TSDF). In general, it is assumed that all hazardous waste will be transported off-site to a permitted TSDF for ultimate disposal.
CAUTION: THE CONTRACTOR WILL BE REQUIRED TO STRICTLY ADHERE TO THE NHHCINST 5756.1(series) – STATIC DISPLAY AIRCRAFT INSPECTION PROGRAM, AIRCRAFT STATIC DISPLAY INSPECTION GUIDE, AND AIRCRAFT STATIC DISPLAY CONDITION CERTIFICATE. EXTRA WORK PRODUCT MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTRACTOR.
3.0 Performance Details/Specifications
a. The aircraft on loan shall be inspected for the following:
i. During the aircraft inspection, it is essential to identify and report any hazardous materials (HAZMAT) and hazardous waste (HAZWASTE), such as fuels, oil, coolant, hydraulics, batteries, explosives, or compressed gasses such as nitrogen or ambient air. If found, HAZMAT/HAZWASTE shall be transported, abated, and disposed of, following all applicable state and federal laws. After removal and proper disposal of all HAZMAT and HAZWASTE (including explosives), the aircraft can be certified as "Safe for Display".
NOTE #A2: All radioactive materials shall be handled separately, IAW TAB B: Performance Specifications, paragraph D Radiation Safety, whether they are abated for disposal or left installed in the aircraft.
ii. Any defects in the material condition of the static display aircraft indicative of improper long-term maintenance and care, including, but not limited to, significantly cracked or peeling paint; structural problems with the static display aircraft, base, or supporting mechanism; or any other hazard to staff or visitors coming into normal contact with the static display aircraft.
b. Proper handling and management of hazardous waste and toxic substances will be critical to this effort. TAB B – Performance Specifications outlines procedures to follow if dangerous or toxic substances are discovered. Additionally, state, local, or other regulatory agencies may have compulsory requirements the Contractor is expected to comply with.

2 Contractor shall follow additional requirements of the cognizant military branch or DOD installation plan for Hazardous/Solid Waste Management when working within the boundary of the installation.
TAB B: Performance Specifications
A. Management Of Hazardous Waste
1. Contractor management of hazardous waste shall be accomplished using the following listing of actions as a minimum (not all-inclusive as there may be other required actions by state, local, or other regulatory agencies):
2. The Contractor shall utilize Department of Transportation (DOT) approved appropriate packaging (for containerizing wastes), labels, and markings for collecting, storing, and transportation/ shipment of hazardous wastes, used oils, recovered jet fuel, etc. Refer to 49 CFR 100 – 185 for additional information.
3. Perform waste determinations per Subparts B and C of 40 CFR 261 for any materials not already declared by NHHC as waste. All waste determinations shall be documented in writing and an electronic copy transmitted to NHHC for permanent record. NHHC shall be responsible for archiving waste determinations on behalf of the USN.
4. Estimating waste volumes by type and volume. Units of measure shall be identified in all documentation. The Contractor shall be responsible for entering the data into (select database program) within 24 hours of its discovery. The Contractor shall update this record when estimated volumes are changed into known quantities as wastes are prepared for shipment or transport.
5. Within each of the Navy Regions, the Navy already holds either a Small or Large Quantity Generator Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Identification (ID) number at various government installations (military base, Department of Defense (DoD) installation, etc.) or other government sites. When working on a base/installation, the Contractor shall coordinate with the base/installation HW manager for disposal, recycling, or turn-in of any hazardous waste generated as a result of work required by this PWS. The base may not be willing or able to accept materials for recycling, reprocessing, or disposal of the used oil, recovered fuel, or batteries, but may otherwise be able to assist by providing information/services such as:
a. local directives, instructions, and procedures while on base/installation,
b. names of licensed contractors who can recycle, reuse, or dispose of materials,
c. oversight/ management of materials by reviewing shipping papers and manifests, and labeling and marking of containers.
d. Before and ONLY when working on a base/installation, the Contractor shall contact and coordinate with the installation hazardous waste manager at least three weeks before the date of arrival at the inspection site. This coordination will help the Contractor prepare for installation/base site access and waste generation/accumulation as needed.
NOTE #B1: Naval aircraft are loaned to other branches of the military and may be located on installations that are not Navy (DoD, Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, etc.). When working on a military base or federal installation, the Contractor shall contact and coordinate with the local base hazardous waste manager (or equivalent person) to ensure compliance with local directives, policies, and regulations (IAW TAB B: Performance Specifications, Coordination)
e. As soon as practical and before shipment/transport of hazardous or non-hazardous waste, the Contractor shall complete a draft profile and manifest and submit to the installation/base hazardous waste manager for review and approval. (i.e. An installation may have a regulatory recycling program for lead acid batteries that may prohibit the lead acid batteries from being listed on hazardous waste manifests.)
f. Contractor shall complete required hazardous waste profiles, manifests, shipping papers, or other documents required by the installation.
CAUTION: AN AUTHORIZED NAVY REPRESENTATIVE MAY SIGN THE MANIFESTS AND SHIPPING PAPERS AS THE GENERATOR. ALL FINAL MANIFESTS AND SHIPPING PAPERS SHALL BE PROVIDED TO THE INSTALLATION AS THE GENERATOR.
6. EPA ID number requirements:
NOTE #B2: Hazardous wastes and non-regulated wastes shall not be combined on the same [shipping] document, but rather documented on separate manifests.
a. In most situations, EPA ID numbers MAY NOT be required if:
i. Used oils meet requirements to be recycled under 40 CFR 279 (additional information in Section B, paragraph E.7)
ii. Batteries are handled as universal waste under 40 CFR 273 (additional information in Section B, paragraph E.8) or as exempt lead acid batteries under 40 CFR 266, Subpart G.
iii. Recovered jet fuel is recycled for energy recovery or reused (additional information in Section B, paragraph E.9)
iv. If the work site is onboard a Navy installation there may already be a Small or Large Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator.
NOTE #B3: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) is the public law that creates the framework for the proper management of hazardous and non-hazardous solid waste. The law describes the waste management program mandated by Congress that gave the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authority to develop the RCRA program. The term RCRA is often used interchangeably to refer to the law, regulations, and EPA policy and guidance. The RCRA regulations can be found in 40 CFR 239-282.
CAUTION: ONLY HAZWASTE GENERATED BY WORK REQUIRED BY THIS PWS SHALL BE MANAGED FOR DISPOSAL BY THE CONTRACTOR OR HAZWASTE SUBCONTRACTOR.
b. In other situations, an EPA ID number may not be required if the total amount of RCRA Hazardous Waste (excluding Section B paragraphs 5.a.i through 5.a.iv) is below the Very Small Quantity Generator Limit, even though the site is not on a Navy installation, nor at another Small or Large Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator host (civilian sector) site.
c. For borrowers/landowners/operators who already possess an EPA ID number for their museum facility/operations. With permission of the COR and landowner/operator (may also be known as the aircraft borrower), the Contractor may utilize the existing EPA ID number in processes defined in this PWS for HAZWASTE management – generating, storing, transporting, disposal documentation, etc...
d. For borrowers/landowners/operators who DO NOT possess OR DO NOT permit the use of their EPA ID number AND IF REQUIRED (total RCRA HAZWASTE amount exceeds the limit for Very Small Quantity Generator), the Contractor shall immediately notify the COR/QAE of the situation and immediately prepare and apply to appropriate state or federal authority for a TEMPORARY EPA ID number. The Contractor shall work with the COR (and designated representatives) to expeditiously manage the EPA ID number application and all parts of the HAZWASTE disposal process IAW this PWS. The Contractor shall note the following:
i. The temporary EPA ID number shall only be utilized in the processes defined in this PWS for HAZWASTE management and disposal as stated in this PWS for hazardous wastes generated from work required by this PWS.
ii. The temporary EPA ID number is issued/assigned to a specific location – i.e. street address or parcel of real estate.
iii. The EPA ID number application shall only list those hazardous materials slated for disposal (i.e. there may be case-by-case situations where a borrower has aircraft from which POLs were drained and designated for recycling or turn-over to a borrower with COR approval).
iv. Contractor may have multiple, simultaneous, outstanding applications and or disposals ongoing.
v. Contractor shall provide the status of temporary EPA ID number application(s) during the Bi-Weekly Drumbeat Meeting and also the monthly status reports from the initiation of the application to the closeout (completion) of the HAZWASTE DISPOSAL for each site.
e. In any case, THE LANDOWNER/OPERATOR/AUTHORIZED GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVE (OR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE) SHALL STILL SIGN ALL HAZWASTE MANIFESTS.
7. The Contractor shall not transport hazardous waste(s) over public highways. The Contractor shall immediately coordinate waste transportation services to remove wastes from the generation site. All hazardous waste transport(s)/ shipment(s) before disposal shall be handled under a separate, reimbursable contract by a licensed, credentialed, and qualified subcontractor. This requirement shall be met while the Contractor is on site.
NOTE #B4: The disposal is managed by the Contractor through a separate subcontract, under reimbursable OCD(s). The Contractor prepares the manifest(s) for signature by borrower/ landowner/ operator/ authorized government representative, et al., as required by this PWS and federal, state, and local regulations.
8. Prepare waste manifests as specified in 40 CFR 262 Subpart B.
9. Manage wastes before shipment as specified in 40 CFR 262 Subpart C. The Contractor shall be responsible for providing all supplies necessary to meet the requirements of 40 CFR 262 Subpart C.
10. The Contractor shall support the recipients of lent vintage aircraft in preparing any reports, correspondence, or documents required by the regulator community per 40 CFR 262 Subpart D regarding waste shipments related to vintage aircraft. The Contractor shall ensure that NHHC receives copies of all written documents supplied to regulators for permanent USN records.
11. For all continental United States (CONUS) locations, export of hazardous waste to outside continental United States (OCONUS) locations is prohibited.
12. The Contractor shall demonstrate that its staff is trained as per 40 CFR 265.16. The Contractor shall submit to NHHC documentation to that effect via electronic means in PDF format. Documentation showing compliance should be provided no later than 30 days after contract award, or before the first issuance of a task order. If the recipient of the lent vintage aircraft does not have the means to comply with 40 CFR 265 Subpart C, the Contractor shall coordinate with the recipient of the lent aircraft to ensure that compliance with 40 CFR 265 Subpart C is achieved and maintained for the duration of hazardous waste is generated and/or stored on site.
13. The Contractor shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of 40 CFR 265 Subpart I. The Contractor shall conduct weekly inspections of containers at a minimum and provide documentation to NHHC and the recipient of lent aircraft.
14. The Contractor shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of 40 CFR 266 Subpart M. The Contractor shall provide documentation showing that its staff who handle military munitions have training in explosives to meet the definition of "explosives or munitions response emergency specialist" as defined in 40 CFR 260.10. Documentation showing compliance should be provided no later than 30 days after contract award, or before the first issuance of a task order.
15. Land disposal of hazardous waste by the Contractor is prohibited.
16. Treatment of hazardous waste by the Contractor is prohibited.
17. The Contractor shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of 40 CFR 273.
18. The Contractor SHALL meet regulatory time limits for storage and disposal of any hazardous waste generated from work required by this PWS as follows:
a. Less than 90 days for large-quantity generators
b. Less than 180 days for small quantity generator
19. General Safety Precaution: Before removal of any potentially hazardous liquid materials (fuel, coolant, oil(s), etc.), the Contractor shall construct a portable secondary containment (primary containment is the collection vessel) around the structure to prevent any accidental or inadvertent release of these liquids to the environment.
B. Identification, Characterization, Transportation, Recycling, and Disposal of HAZMAT and HAZWASTE:
1. FOR Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants (POL) Materials (used oils, used hydraulic fluids, jet fuels). The Contractor, with support from NHHC and regional Naval Facilities (NAVFAC) Environmental (ENV) Division (DIV), shall use its knowledge of historic aircraft and aircraft components to determine how the removed POL products will be handled:
NOTE #B5: Preference is to recycle, reutilize, and reuse when and where possible.
NOTE #B6: POL material designated as recovered fuel or used oil does not count towards any limitations imposed by EPA ID limitations (collectively 220 pounds per site) since it isn't designated as HW.
a. Recycled and or reprocessed as used oils and or recovered jet fuel for energy production or
b. Recycled batteries, or
c. Disposed of as hazardous or solid waste per 40 CFR 261 Subparts B and C.
NOTE #B7: In general, if an aircraft component had hazardous characteristics as defined in 40 CFR 261 Subparts B and C when originally delivered to the Navy, it shall be assumed that it retains those characteristics in the present day. Specific requirements for management of hazardous waste are specified in TAB B: Performance Specifications, paragraph A, Contractor Management of Hazardous Wastes.
2. Examples of known substances found in static display aircraft include but are not limited to, JP-5 fuel oil, MIL-L83282C hydraulic oil, MIL-L-23699 and MIL-L22851 lubricating oil, and Halon 1211, MIL-PRF87252.
3. ALL HALONS. Halon 1211 and all other Halons are a Class I Ozone Depleting Substance (ODS) per 40 CFR 82 and shall be managed as such under the provisions of 40 CFR 82 and the Clean Air Act. All Halons remain in use for mission-critical applications as specified under OPNAV 5090.1D, Chapter 22, Section 22-3.6, Section B, "Mission Critical Applications." All Halon tanks/ containers shall be prepared for transfer to the DOD ODS Reserve, maintained by DLA Richmond. OPNAV 5090.1D, Chapter 22, Section B, mandates the turn-in of all Class I ODS to the DOD ODS Reserve. For detailed turn-in procedures, go to this website for specific information:
https://www.dla.mil/Portals/104/Documents/Aviation/AviationEngineeri ng/ODSReserve/AV_ODS-TurnInProcedures_160714.pdf (copy and paste the URL into your web browser)
NOTE #B8: On a case-by-case basis, the COR may approve certain POLs to be designated as recyclable or turnover materials. (i.e. Military bases/facilities may have recycling capabilities that are more fiscally responsible, or some borrowers may have active airstrips where fuel could be used, etc.)
4. RECYCLING OR REUSING POL MATERIALS. The Contractor shall attempt to recycle POL materials before labeling POL material as HAZARDOUS WASTE. POL material designated as "used oil" or "recovered jet fuel" does NOT count towards EPA generator limitations of hazardous wastes.
5. Transport to a TSDF shall be performed by a licensed, qualified, credentialed, and permitted transporter under a separate contract (reimbursable ODC).
6. The Contractor shall provide copies of all documents associated with hazardous waste disposal to NHHC for permanent record, IAW this PWS. (Deliverables: Other Required Documentation – HAZMAT/HAZWASTE Dossier Packet)
7. FOR HAZWASTE. The Contractor may be required to apply for an EPA ID number for an inspection site, as specified in SECTION B – REQUIREMENTS, paragraph A.5. The EPA ID number application shall list all HAZWASTE that was not otherwise identified and approved by the NHHC COR as recyclable or reusable material as delineated in paragraphs 8 through 10, below.
8. Specific management of used oil and hydraulic fluids removed from aircraft. (The preferable method for managing them is typically under 40 CFR 279 as used oil.):
NOTE #B9: The Contractor may drain all the oil(s) from the aircraft, containerize it, mark/label it as "used oil", and arrange transport to a used oil recycler. This "used oil" does not count against the HW limits imposed under the EPA Generator ID number. The Contractor may transport smaller quantities of the "used oils" to a local, commercial business to ensure limited amounts of collected POL on-site at any given time.
a. Preferred method 1: When on the inspection site which is also on a base/installation, coordinate with the local base/installation hazardous waste manager, and if the capability exists to recycle/reuse/reutilize used oil through the base/installation, proceed to do so. Recycling "used oil" would NOT count towards limits imposed under an EPA Generator ID number. The Contractor shall prepare a plan and cost estimate for recycling the used oil and submit it to the COR as soon as practical. In some cases, the base/installation may receive direct payment from NHHC.
b. Preferred method 2: When on an inspection site which is NOT on a base/installation (or if base/installation is unwilling or unable to recycle, reuse, reutilize, or dispose of POL materials), establish contact with a commercial business capable of recycling, reusing, reutilizing, or disposing of POL materials Ensure business possesses appropriate permits, licenses, credentials, capacities, and qualifications IAW federal, state, and local regulations to recycle used oil. Contractor shall create a plan/cost estimate at the best price point to the government. As soon as practical, Contractor shall notify COR (and designated representatives) of plan and estimated cost for recycling. The Contractor shall recycle used oils as authorized.
c. Preferred method 3: With permission of the COR and Regional NAVFAC ENV DIV, the Contractor may arrange to turnover used oil to aircraft borrower for their use.
i. The Contractor shall notify the COR that the aircraft borrower has agreed to accept and reuse/reutilize the used oil. NHHC COR reserves the right to refuse the transfer of used oil to any aircraft borrower for any reason.
ii. Contractor shall provide a receipt that shows:
1. Aircraft borrower name, address, phone, and signature/printed name.
2. Quantity of used oil being turned over.
3. Borrower shall provide a statement of purpose/ intended use of the used oil. Borrower shall further agree to provide a statement of final disposition to the NHHC COR when the used oil has been reused, or within 30 days, whichever is sooner.
d. Limited or small quantities of used oils.
i. Contractor may elect to turnover used oil to local commercial business such as Advance Auto Parts, AutoZone, O'Reilly's Auto Parts, or similar same- type business.
ii. Used oils should be transported in approved DOT shipping containers and may be reused.
iii. The Contractor shall obtain a signed receipt with the used oil quantity, [business] name/address/phone, and printed name/signature of the person accepting the used oil for recycling. The Contractor will additionally countersign and print his/her name on the receipt.
iv. The Contractor shall also prepare and manage all documents required to show the custody chain of items turned over to the appropriate receiver IAW this PWS. The Contractor will effect payment to non-government entities/businesses on a reimbursable basis, IAW this PWS.
9. Specific management of batteries removed from aircraft.
a. Batteries removed from aircraft should first be considered for recycling. Two options are available for recycling:
CAUTION: MANAGING BATTERIES UNDER THE BELOW TWO OPTIONS CITED ALLOWS THE BATTERIES NOT TO BE CLASSIFIED AS HAZARDOUS WASTE FOR REPORTING OR EPA ID NUMBER PURPOSES
i. When on the inspection site, which is also on a base/installation, coordinate with the local installation hazardous waste manager, and if the capability exists to recycle/reuse aircraft batteries through the base/installation, proceed to do so. Recycling aircraft batteries would NOT count towards limits imposed under an EPA Generator ID number. If applicable, the Contractor shall prepare a plan and cost estimate for recycling aircraft batteries and submit it to the COR as soon as practical. In some cases, the base/installation may receive direct payment from NHHC.
ii. Otherwise, the Contractor may contact local commercial businesses to determine their capability to recycle aircraft batteries (their discretion to accept the old batteries). Some suggested business names are: Home Depot, Lowe's, Advance Auto Parts, AutoZone, Pep Boys, Batteries Plus Bulbs, etc…
iii. In either case, the Contractor shall obtain a signed receipt with battery quantity, description, type, serial #, model#, [business] name/address/phone, and printed name/signature of the person accepting the battery(s) for recycling. Contractor will additionally countersign and print his/her name on the receipt.
iv. Batteries not recycled as delineated above are managed IAW paragraph 9.b or 9.c below.
b. For non-lead acid battery types, the Contractor shall manage removed batteries IAW 40 CFR 273 universal waste regulations.
c. For lead-acid battery types, the Contractor may manage removed batteries IAW:
i. 40 CFR 273 universal waste regulations, or
ii. 40 CFR 266 Subpart G, as exempt recyclable batteries.
d. As soon as practical, the Contractor shall notify the COR of estimated costs for recycling batteries through military/government installations with facility points of contact to facilitate payment(s) if applicable. The Contractor shall also prepare and manage all documents required to show the custody chain of items turned over to the appropriate receiver IAW this PWS. The Contractor will effect payment to non-government entities/ businesses on a reimbursable (ODC) basis, IAW this PWS.
10. Specific management of recovered jet fuel. Recovered (off-specification) jet fuel is not a solid waste and thus not a hazardous waste when burned for energy recovery or used to produce fuels.
NOTE #B10: The Contractor may drain all the fuel from the aircraft, containerize it, mark/label it as "recovered jet fuel", and arrange transport to jet fuel recycler. This "recovered jet fuel" does not count against the HW limits imposed under the EPA Generator ID number.
a. Contractor shall attempt recycling:
i. Preferred method 1: When on the inspection site which is also on a base/installation, coordinate with the local installation hazardous waste manager, and if the capability exists to recycle/reuse recovered jet fuels through the base/installation, proceed to do so. Recycling recovered jet fuel would NOT count towards limits imposed under an EPA Generator ID number. The Contractor shall prepare a plan and cost estimate for recycling the recovered jet fuel and submit it to the COR as soon as practical. In some cases, the base/installation may receive direct payment from NHHC.
NOTE #B11: All discrepancies and repairs shall be annotated on NHHC Conditional Inspection Form as "Discrepancies" or "repairs" as applicable with descriptive comments as delineated in the Aircraft Static Display Inspection Guide. The discrepancies will be noted as minor (m) or major (M) in the category block.
ii. Preferred method 2: When on an inspection site that is NOT on a base/installation (or if the base/installation is unwilling/ unable to recycle, reuse, reutilize, or dispose of POL materials), establish contact with a commercial business capable of recycling, reusing, reutilizing, or disposing of POL materials. Ensure business possesses appropriate permits, licenses, credentials, capacities, and qualifications IAW federal, state, and local regulations to recycle recovered fuel. The Contractor shall create a plan/cost estimate at the best price point to the government. The Contractor shall notify COR (and designated representatives) of plan and estimated cost for recycling. The Contractor shall recycle recovered fuel as authorized.
iii. Preferred method 3: With permission of the COR and regional NAVFAC ENV DIV, the Contractor may arrange to turnover recovered jet fuel to the aircraft borrower for their use.
b. Contractor shall pursue disposal of hazardous waste if recycling is not possible. Recovered jet fuel is subject to regulations as hazardous waste since NHHC has preemptively determined the present-day recovered fuel retains all characteristics and properties of when it was delivered to the Navy.
c. Contractor shall also prepare and manage all documents required to show the custody chain of items turned over to the appropriate receiver IAW this PWS. The Contractor will effect payment to non-government entities/businesses on a reimbursable (ODC) basis, IAW this PWS.
11. NHHC shall retain all hazardous waste manifests for at least 50 years per OPNAV 5090.1D, Chapter 27, Section 27.3-6.
12. Contractors involved with working directly on vintage aircraft shall receive training as shown in OPNAV 5090.1D, Chapter 27, Table 27-1 for routine site employees with minimal exposure. The project manager shall receive training for a supervisor of employees with minimal exposure. All training shall be documented and provided to NHHC (to include periodic refresher training).
13. The Contractor shall prepare and submit to NHHC (and NAVFAC SE ENV DIV) a spill response plan for review and approval. The Contractor shall be responsible for all spill cleanup actions and disposals required from any release resulting from work required by this PWS.
14. For radioactive materials, handle IAW Section B, Paragraph D.
15. For RCRA munitions waste, handle per Section B, Paragraph C, NAVSEA OP5, and 40 CFR 266 Subpart M.
C. Security Requirements:
1. All canopies, doors, access hatches, and access plates will be permanently sealed shut by any of the following methods to prevent unauthorized entry:
a. Bolting through the hatch to internal crossbars placed across the opening. These can be fabricated from sturdy steel strapping or channel iron or aluminum.
b. Riveting the door securely to the jamb section.
c. Attaching hasp internally and securing with inside padlock.
d. Whatever method is employed to secure doors and access hatches, the crevices remaining will be filled with caulking compound or elastic putty to prevent internal damage from rain, snow, dust, and ice. A hasp riveted in place shall secure the access door that is not permanently sealed. Multiple locks (two or three) are preferable, each with a separate key or combination. This technique will reduce the possibility of unauthorized access but will provide emergency and maintenance entry for authorized personnel.
2. Two deviations from security requirements outlined in this section:
a. For radiological components removed: if radiological components were removed, bagged, and stored inside the aircraft behind a panel as described above in IAW TAB C: Tasks, Paragraph L, Radiation Survey, a deviation is herein approved by this PWS to NOT SEAL OR LOCK ONLY the panel(s) behind which the radiological components are stored.
b. Miscellaneous exception: A borrower may have previously requested specific panels or compartments remain open for an aircraft display diorama, safety reasons, or aircraft movements. Moreover, the borrower may or may not have written documentation showing this exception. As soon as practical, the Contractor shall immediately notify the COR, QAE, or other COR designee of the situation, who in turn will coordinate with the borrower, NHHC, and NNAM any deviation from the PWS requirements. The Contractor will await the resolution of this situation before continuing with the remaining steps of this section, Paragraph F, Security Requirements. The COR will coordinate all correspondence related to this potential deviation from required PWS actions. If a deviation from the PWS is approved, an electronic notification (email) from the COR (or COR designee) will be sent as soon as practical to the Contractor for action. The Contractor shall reply as soon as practical to verify receipt of notification to deviate from PWS requirements. A copy of the email will be placed in the applicable aircraft dossier packet.
D. Classified Findings:
1. Contractor shall adhere to Attachment 1, Memorandum for the Record (MOR) dated March 04 2019 "Standard Operating Procedure For Discovery Of Potential Communications Security Or Other Classified Devices/Components During Aircraft Inspection Program", to include all actions and reporting procedures detailed within that document.
E. Coordination:
1. Deviation from the procedures outlined in the attachment shall be requested in writing and require written approval from the COR before deviation.
2. No aircraft shall be renovated, reconfigured, or have markings changed, bureau number altered, parts added, or parts removed or replaced as part of a planned restoration effort without prior written approval from the NNAM. Coordination of this level of work stated in this paragraph (T.2.) will be accomplished by the COR.
3. To meet the government accountability of personnel, NHHC requires that at the start of each day, a shaller report of all contract workers will be provided to the COR, QAE, or designated representative.
4. For each day of work, a listing of workers, hours expended on each Type/Model/Series (T/M/S) and Bureau Number shall be sent to the COR, QAE, or designated representative (may be included in the monthly report).
5. Upon request, the Contractor should provide information during inspections when requested by the COR, QAE, or other COR designee(s). Information requests may include the current status of inspection(s), HAZMAT/HAZWASTE quantities, unresolved problems encountered, noted major borrower issues, or any other work associated with this PWS (this does not create any new specific reporting requirement, but rather ensures the flow of information continues for various NHHC reporting requirements, etc.).
6. After all inspections at each site, a detailed report stating: (1) Display worked, (2) HAZMAT and HAZWASTE found, (3) total maintenance hours spent on T/M/S, and (4) total each workers' person-hours shall be sent to the COR, QAE, or designated representative.
7. Upon inspection site completion of work, the Contractor shall notify the QAE/COR of work completed and that a final site evaluation has been performed by the Contractor which causes the QAE (or other COR-designated government representative) to also perform a final evaluation of the inspection site. The dossier packets are due to NHHC based on the following formula that equals number of days allowed to complete all dossier packets (an example dossier packet is attached for reference):
The time allotted to complete and turn-in to the COR calculation rounds up to the next whole day and adds two days grace period.
(21 ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑟𝑎𝑓𝑡 𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑡) 𝑥 (𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑟𝑎𝑓𝑡 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑡 𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒) +2 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠 (8.5 ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑑𝑎𝑦) 𝑥 (5 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑚)
For example: an inspection site has 19 aircraft to inspect:
(21 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛 ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑟𝑎𝑓𝑡 𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑡) 𝑥 (19 𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑟𝑎𝑓𝑡) +2 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠 (8.5 ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑑𝑎𝑦) 𝑥 (5 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑚)
399 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛 ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠
42.5 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛 ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑎+2 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠
9.4 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠 + 2 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠 10 days + 2 days 12 days
For this example: Upon completion of work and notification to NHHC COR/QAE of work completed at the inspection site (as stated in paragraph T.7 above), the completed dossier packets are due to NHHC COR no later than 12 work days upon departure from the site.
8. The Contractor shall create and submit to NHHC COR a plan for upcoming inspections at least three weeks prior to traveling. During the preparation and planning stage, the Contractor shall at a minimum:
a. Review the site listing of aircraft to be inspected to ascertain an estimated amount of various POL materials that may be collected.
b. Only when working on a military base or federal installation, contact the local base/installation hazardous waste manager (or equivalent person) to notify of upcoming inspections that may result in collected POL material.
i. Contractor shall determine through conversation the capabilities of the base/installation:
i. POL recycling and reuse programs,
ii. battery recycling capabilities,
iii. other HW disposal capabilities,
ii. The Contractor shall also request any commercial business capable of recycling, reusing, reutilizing, or disposing of POL materials. If the base/installation HW manager is not able to provide commercial businesses, the Contractor shall notify NHHC COR/ regional NAVFAC ENV DIV POC.
c. When working at sites not on military bases or federal installations, the Contractor shall contact NHHC COR and regional NAVFAC ENV DIV POC to request/obtain commercial businesses near the inspection site that are capable of recycling, reutilizing, and or disposing of POL materials.
iii. The Contractor shall provide inspection site location(s), type of aircraft, and estimated POL materials to NHHC COR and NAVFAC POC.
iv. The Contractor shall seek the most cost-effective method of managing the POL materials.
d. Regional NAVFAC ENV DIV POC will assist NHHC/ contractor by providing commercial businesses capable of providing recycling, reusing, reutilizing, or disposing of POL materials.
e. Before traveling, the Contractor shall obtain (or have at the ready) sufficient DOT-approved containers, packaging materials, cleanup materials, labels, markings, etc.
f. The contractor shall formalize the obtained information and submit it to NHHC as part of the upcoming inspection plan for review and approval. The plan is not meant to create any significant workload but rather ensure the Contractor is fully prepared to execute the plan in a timely and efficient manner before traveling.
F. Discrepancies:
a. Discrepancies that impact Safety, Environment, and or Damage to the Display or Property will be annotated on the conditional inspection as major, and the Program Manager will inform the on-site QAE IMMEDIATELY. Minor on–site temporary maintenance repairs will be performed as part of this contract to ensure compliance with the program scope, as noted in bold print. Major repairs (full-scale) will be the responsibility of the borrower.
CAUTION: DISCREPANCIES REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OR ACTION(S) BY CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL DUE TO THE GRAVITY OF THE DISCREPANCY SHALL HAVE BARRIERS ERECTED IMMEDIATELY AROUND DANGEROUS AREAS.
b. The Program Manager, QAE, and COR will determine if a full-scale or temporary repair is needed. If determined as a Major (full-scale), the borrower and NNAM will be notified by the NHHC COR, QAE, or designated representative. The area will be roped off and marked as closed to public access for safety. The Contractor will provide a written description of the discrepancy (s) and provide an impact statement if not corrected as follows:
i. Critical discrepancy impact statements shall be provided to the QAE/COR within 2 hours of discovery, with verbal statement acceptable on site with follow-up written statement/plan within 24 hrs.
ii. Non-Critical discrepancy impact statements shall be provided to the QAE/COR within 6 hours of discovery (or at the start of the next work-day shift with verbal statement acceptable on site with follow-up written statement/plan within 24 hrs.
iii. Generally unsafe components and conditions (whether critical or non-critical) shall be referred to the QAE/COR upon discovery using the timeframes stated above (critical – two hours; non-critical – six hours). Components that are deemed 'unsafe' or present as 'unsafe conditions' shall be remedied by preventing access to the area or component, removal of the component, or other appropriate measures or actions. These immediate actions should not take more than approximately two hours and are within the capability of the onsite aircraft mechanic. (i.e. removal of external stores – drop tanks, missile batteries, etc…). Two pictures (one before and one after) shall be taken to document the removal of the component/ artifact.
c. Removed components shall be handled as follows:
i. Any removed component(s) shall be documented by:
1. two opposing views, high-quality photographs, and
2. component removal and disposition receipt by the Contractor.
ii. The receipt shall be submitted to the aircraft borrower (or other entity as directed by the COR) for safeguarding. Both the Contractor and receiving entity shall sign the custody form, with each retaining a copy. The pictures show the component/artifact condition at the time of removal from aircraft for historical and preservation-related purposes.
iii. The pictures and turn-over receipt(s) shall be included in the aircraft inspection dossier.
d. In addition, the Contractor will draft a proposed written solution(s)/recommendation of the repair (temporary and or full-scale). If the QAE, PM, and COR agree on-site, the temporary action is to proceed as agreed. Finally, before and after pictures (action taken) will be performed. All listed parties will sign in agreement.
